A completed manuscript is only half the journey to a good book. Even the most interesting plot or valuable nonfiction text requires professional literary editing to ensure the book reads easily, is logical, and leaves the impression the author intends.
Literary editing helps make the text logical, cohesive, and easy to read while preserving the author's style and intent. My goal is to help your book sound exactly as it was envisioned.
How does literary editing differ from proofreading?
Proofreading focuses on correcting spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors. Literary editing is a much deeper engagement with the text. It helps make the narrative logical, coherent, and understandable, eliminating stylistic flaws, awkward formulations, repetitions, contradictions, and overloaded sentences. At the same time, the author's style, tone, and intent are preserved. In other words, proofreading answers the question "Is it written correctly?" while literary editing answers "Does it read well?"
What is included in the literary editing service:
- Improvement of the narrative style without losing the author's individuality;
- Elimination of stylistic, linguistic, and logical flaws;
- Work on repetitions, awkward formulations, and bureaucratic language;
- Improvement of sentence and paragraph structure;
- Checking the logic, coherence, and integrity of the text;
- Recommendations for enhancing specific fragments if necessary.
What types of texts do I work with:
- Nonfiction;
- Fiction;
- Educational and methodological materials;
- Articles;
- Texts for websites and blogs.
I have over 9 years of professional experience with texts. For more than 7 years, I have been engaged in literary editing of books, educational, and methodological materials. Among my works are books that have already been published. Two of these projects are featured in my portfolio.
The cost of literary editing: from 50 UAH per 1,000 characters with spaces. The final price depends on the volume of the text, its initial condition, the complexity of the material, and the depth of editing required.
Additional services
In addition to literary editing, I can fully prepare the book for publication.
Proofreading services, which include:
- Correction of spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors;
- Standardization of text formatting;
- Checking typography (quotes, dashes, spaces, non-breaking spaces, etc.);
- Final check before printing or publication.
Book layout for:
- Print edition (PDF layout);
- E-book (PDF, EPUB).
This comprehensive approach allows for avoiding time loss in transferring the manuscript between different performers and ensures a consistent style of the book's design from the first page to the final layout.
If you order literary editing, proofreading, and book layout as one project, the total cost will be lower than ordering each service separately.
